I don't do a lot of shopping there but I need it! It is the only place I can find dry packed shell fish and squid steaks. Plus my Trader Joe's is tiny. I do have Sprouts near and shop ther offen but they don't have some key items I buy any WFs. Quote I know what you mean. Remember a decade ago when brining turkey was all the rage? The only place I could find juniper berries was WF. There was one near my then-job, and I'd go there for to-go sandwiches. I identified with the guy quoted in the article who said "lunch and spices".

Mindthinkr June 24, 2017 Share June 24, 2017 We just got an Aldi's. I can't wait to go there. I used to shop in the one in Aberdeen (Scotland) all ththe time. I heard Whole Foods just got bought out by Amazon. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32332-where-to-shop-for-food-in-your-town-or-nearby/page/2/#findComment-3401599
ethalfrida June 30, 2017 Author Share June 30, 2017 I am excited for the Amazon purchase. I attended a seminar for potentially becoming an Amazon vendor and loved seeing how they work behind the scenes. It should be great for employees too.

chessiegal July 2, 2017 Share July 2, 2017 Went to Whole Foods this morning for the 1st time in 6 weeks and could not believe all the stuff they had on sale. I've never seen it before, even around a holiday. Also overheard a customer telling the fishmonger she's glad they are now getting double time for working holidays rather than time and a half.

DeLurker August 16, 2017 Share August 16, 2017 Went to Chinatown in Houston yesterday. Always go to the grocer down there when we go to pick up certain spices and rice noodles I like. They had cherries for $1.28/lb and the 2 lb. pack of strawberries for $2.49. I love the Asian market because they can't charge an arm & leg for stuff because it just won't sell if their clients think they are being gauged. Even if it is a good price, the tiny grandmas will bicker with them over the freshness. It is awesome. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32332-where-to-shop-for-food-in-your-town-or-nearby/page/2/#findComment-3555285
Cherry Bomb August 19, 2017 Share August 19, 2017 Wegman's is the big place to do food shopping in my area. Can be quite expensive so you have to pick and choose for good prices. It works for me most of the time because I am shopping for just myself so if something I find is too expensive I just skip it and change my weekly planning for food because it doesn't really affect anyone but myself. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32332-where-to-shop-for-food-in-your-town-or-nearby/page/2/#findComment-3564746
Qoass September 5, 2017 Share September 5, 2017 I made my first visit to a Wegman's this past weekend. I love food and food shopping but I don't have strongly held opinions about where I go even though all my friends rave about this place. I was surprised to find that their prices for milk, sugar and bananas were much lower than my usual store but I had a really hard time finding stuff due to vaguely labeled aisles. I couldn't even find the customer service desk for help. That said, I can see why people would enjoy shopping there if they had lots of time to roam around as the displays were very fun and colorful. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32332-where-to-shop-for-food-in-your-town-or-nearby/page/2/#findComment-3611433
chessiegal September 7, 2017 Share September 7, 2017 I went to Whole Foods today to get salmon to grill for dinner, and they've dropped the price $3/pound. Guess Amazon is serious about dropping prices. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32332-where-to-shop-for-food-in-your-town-or-nearby/page/2/#findComment-3617640
chessiegal October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 Yesterday I went to Whole Foods and the area inside the front door where they used to stage seasonal food is now a wall of gray lockers that say "Amazon". I haven't paid too much attention - is this for on-line food pick-up or anything from Amazon pick-up?

Anela October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 I want to get back to the Amazon/Whole Foods 365 that opened up in another town, that isn't over an hour away, for a change. I've shopped at a new Fresh Thyme store, over the past few weeks. Certain things I need to get from Giant Eagle, but I like the place, and the fact they sell my Xyla. Now I don't have to make a special trip to Krieger's (although I like the store, and wouldn't mind shopping there regularly).

spiderpig December 29, 2017 Share December 29, 2017 I'm in the Bay Area and want to know where I can get ramps. Aren't they famously season-limited and seemingly grown in the eastern US? I've never seen them out here, so I'm determined to get some before I kick the bucket.

biakbiak December 29, 2017 Share December 29, 2017 Berkeley Bowl has had them in the past, the season is short so you might want to call them in April to see if they will have them. I don't really get the hype. I much prefer garlic chives which are cheap and readily available.

chessiegal December 1, 2021 Share December 1, 2021 We've had a Lidl store near me for about a year. I decided to give it a try today and boy howdy was I disappointed. It reminded me of what the dollar stores would be like if they sold food. The variety was sad. I saw some vacuum packed fresh Norwegian salmon that looked good. I didn't realize you could get everything from socks to bread makers. I loaded their app on my phone. I'm taking it off. When I checked out with the 3 items I bought, there were 12 people lined up for 1 checkout lane. They finally opened another one. I have no plans to return. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32332-where-to-shop-for-food-in-your-town-or-nearby/page/2/#findComment-7148274
